I decided to do Steak Diane last night. This is a reasonably fast weeknight dinner and it's steak! I used Adam Ragusea's recipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2RbSZob6ag

It's a great way to use USDA Select NY strips as the steak ends up covered in sauce. First you season then sear the steaks:

Then make a mushroom, beef stock, shallot, garlic, brandy, and cream sauce. And reheat/finish cooking the steaks in the sauce:

I served it with some smoke-roasted asparagus on the Chimp:

Very good and I will definitely be making again!

And tonight was grilled chicken tacos. I would make these every night if I could.

Last Night's Thirty Cloves of Garlic Chicken, Pasta e Fagoli with Spinach.

The beans in the Pasta e Fagioli are Rancho Gordo Cranberry Beans....Delicious...I will never buy any other beans besides Rancho Gordo again. Made some extra, my buddy who lives alone just had hernia surgery and can't move around too well. Going to bring over several meals today.

Ran to the coast and loaded up on seafood. Decided to begin with a classic shrimp, chicken, sausage and okra gumbo. Saw a Cajun on the You Tuber talking about enriching the roux by adding 1-1/2 or even 2 parts flour to one part oil. Tried the 1-1/2 part and bingo the difference was night and day. Made it thicker and not as much soup like. Definitely my new go to.

The other was serving with a classic potato salad instead of rice. Another winner, give it a try sometime, it's a Louisiana thing !!!

Woke up early this morning and decided to make a brunch of champions. Thawed a pichana roast, smoked at 190 to IT of 115 then seared on the gasser. Pichana was seasoned with Kinders SPG and Meatheads red meat rub.

Made some Smoked Queso on the GMG Trek for a party...first time trying it and it was a hit...

My first successful Pastrami. It's melt in your mouth good.
Too bad my wife doesn't like pastrami.
I'll need to get some rye bread for tomorrow.

My (day after) birthday dinner. Stopped at the Extra Super Fancy Meat Store after work on Thursday and picked up this little beauty:

Seasoned up with SPG and some herbs and into the hot tub for a nice long bath. 22x150, ice bath, fridge, yada, yada.

Hit it with some Montreal Chicken rub and on the smoker til it hit 150 again.

If I didn't have a nice slicer this thing would have just fallen apart.

Just ridiculous.

Served with some simple RG beans and a pan sauce made from the purge.

Pity about the saison, as it had lost it's carbonation. Flavor wise it was a perfect pairing.

That was my first Iberico pork, and it will not be the last. Wasn't even that expensive at $50 for 2.5 lb. of Coppa.

Did some updates on my MAK so had to run it for a while and figured since it was running I'd throw some Sam's club frozen burgers on. The meat seems decent enough, but they aren't seasoned like Bubba burgers
